Song Yong-ho, a senior at Yeonhwa High School, wandered into the school auditorium late at night. Despite the college entrance exams being over and having little reason to visit school anymore, he had come for one particular purpose.

"This is a must-broadcast event!"

Song Yong-ho was an internet streamer. At the start of the year, he was a virtual nobody, barely scraping by with a handful of viewers. But after filming a viral video during Close Your Eyes, his channel began to grow rapidly.

Back then, he was the only one who had captured a raw, unedited reaction to the events on live stream.

Though he received a warning from the broadcasting station later, he was let off lightly since he was just a student, and the video only gained attention after the variety show had aired.

Now, with 100,000 subscribers, he had become a moderately successful streamer. His plan after graduation was to focus entirely on streaming.

"Apparently, there’s an end-of-year party being held tonight by the first-year students at my school, Yeonhwa High."

* Where even is that?

* Never heard of it.

* Isn’t Yeonhwa High a humanities school with strong arts programs?

* Rumor has it they’re trying to rebrand as an art school.

"Yes, yes, you’re right. And you all know what I’m talking about—my video, right?"

At his mention of the video, the chat finally stirred, as viewers who had come to his channel through Close Your Eyes started commenting.

* Isn’t that the school Ju Seoyeon goes to?

* High schoolers have end-of-year parties these days? So cringe.

* Shouldn’t they be studying instead of partying? LOL.

The responses were lukewarm at best. Many internet users didn’t care about celebrities, even those who had become fans of his through the viral show.

Still, the connection to Ju Seoyeon sparked some interest.

"So, I offered to help out tonight under the pretense of assisting the teachers. Pretty smart, right?"

* Did you tell them you’re streaming?

"Not exactly. But it should be fine, don’t you think?"@@novelbin@@

* Total delinquent behavior.

"Hey, hey! Delinquent? No way. This is an unspoken agreement—mutual understanding!"

In truth, the school probably anticipated that someone would film and post videos since Ju Seoyeon would be attending. Whether it was Yong-ho rationalizing his behavior or not, the fact remained that he generally stuck to clean, student-friendly content.

"For now, I’ll turn off the stream since I have to help out. I’ll go live again once Ju Seoyeon shows up."

* ?

* You’re not filming the others?

"Nope, I don’t film regular students. Just Seoyeon."

With that, Yong-ho turned off his stream. It made no sense to keep it running while he helped set up.
